Brantlee was a man worth cherishing.
The men she liked had never been like Brantlee. Instead, the type of men she'd liked were all like Matthew.
Handsome, tolerant, knowledgeable, and capable.
Those types of men were at the very top of the pyramid, possessing charisma to make people fall head over heels.
However, Brantlee wasn't like that.
Brantlee was ordinary and had no charisma. He was not too smart. He'd even thought that he would die if he donated his bone marrow.
But this man treated her wholeheartedly.
Just like what Aunt Mary said, Brantlee took after his father.
Brantlee's father was also an honest man. He had never been quite capable, but he had been devoted to Aunt Mary.
When Brantlee's father was still alive, Mary had disliked him in every way.
Despite this, Brantlee's father had still doted on her for a lifetime and loved her for a lifetime.
It wasn't until Brantlee's father had died that Aunt Mary had realized that the man who treated her best in the world was already gone.
The next day soon arrived.
Matthew was about to leave.
Matthew went to Saoirse's bedroom to say goodbye, but he realized that Saoirse was not in the bedroom.
He knew that Saoirse must be at Mary's house.
When he was about to go to Mary's house, he suddenly saw Saoirse and Brantlee walking in.
Matthew's gaze froze.
He saw that the two of them were walking hand in hand.
Saoirse looked fine, but Brantlee's face was completely flushed.
Matthew's eyes lit up as he smiled.
He knew that now, he could leave without any worries.
He strode over.
He said gently with a smile, "Saoirse, Brantlee, congratulations."
Brantlee turned his head around, and even his neck was red.
Saoirse subtly smiled. "Thank you."
"I'm leaving soon. Take good care of yourselves," Matthew said.
Saoirse's beautiful blue eyes were a bit dim. "You're leaving?"
"Yes."
After a moment of hesitation, she opened her mouth as if she had made an important decision. "William, I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead."
Saoirse let go of Brantlee's hand. "Brantlee, can you go inside and wait for me?"
Brantlee definitely listened to Saoirse, so he didn't hesitate and walked in.
Soon after, he disappeared.
"Saoirse, Brantlee is a good man. You will be happy if you stay with him. He will treat you well," Matthew smiled.
Saoirse nodded. "I understand, William, but that's not what I'm going to tell you."
"Say whatever you need to."
"William, when you were injured many years ago and I saved you, do you remember the promise you made to my father to marry me?" Saoirse looked at Matthew.
Matthew's breathing came to a halt.
A surge of emotion could be seen in his deep eyes, but he lowered his voice. "Saoirse, it's my fault."
Saoirse heard the guilt in Matthew's tone.
She shook her head, "You don't have to feel guilty for me."
"Saoirse, I owe you. If I hadn't said that I would marry you at that time, you wouldn't have waited so many years for me." Matthew's voice was a little hoarse.
Saoirse laughed.
For some reason, that laugh was inexplicably awkward.
"William, you're wrong." She looked straight into Matthew's eyes. "You've always been wrong. Now, I'm telling you the reason why you told my father that you wanted to marry me back then."
Matthew looked stunned.
He was keen, and he knew that Saoirse was hiding something just by what she had said.
